Fast Feed-Forward for Useful Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing 

Reaching fault-tolerant quantum computation depends on the successful implementation of quantum error correction (QEC). In QEC, quantum gates and measurements are performed to stabilize the computational qubits, while classical computations convert the measurements into estimated logical Pauli frame updates or logical measurement results. In this talk, Dr. Kurman describes how to implement fault-tolerant non-Clifford gates in QEC codes and the role of feed-forward. Dr. Kurman also elaborates on the requirements of fast feed-forward in terms of latency and throughput to prevent diverging logical gate times.

This seminar addressed the following topics -

1. Gain insights into implementing non-Clifford gates in QEC, a crucial step towards fault-tolerant quantum computation.
2. Set the requirement of fast feed-forward in terms of latency and throughput to prevent diverging logical gate time.
3. Learn how NVIDIA-Quantum Machines' co-development of DGX-Quantum (GPU hardware acceleration) helps implement QEC at scale.    
   
   

For more information on this topic, the video includes details of an upcoming ArXiv research paper (titled: "Control Requirements and Benchmarks for Quantum Error Correction") that covers the work described in this seminar.
